Rezoning Request Denied For Town Home Project

January 23, 1995|By Pat Clawson.

Streamwood: — A bid to build town homes on prime commercial property was denied last week by a unanimous vote of the Village Board.

The board rejected a request by Lexington Homes of Arlington Heights to rezone the commercial property at the northeast corner of Bartlett and Schaumburg Roads for multifamily housing to be called the Amberleigh Development. Board members said the location was one of the last four prime real estate intersections left in Streamwood.

The developer told the board he was unable to downsize the plan to reduce density. "I am unable to submit a plan to reduce the units," said Ross Vogel, vice president of land development for Lexington. "We understand the board's concerns, but we have no alternative at this time."
